Neurotransmitters Module: The Beery Twins’ Story
|
|
|
Captivate your students and cover a wide range of science topics with
the true story of California twins Noah and Alexis Beery, who have gene
variants that cause them to have life-threatening low levels of three
neurotransmitters. Whole genome sequencing in 2010 identified a mutation
in the gene that encodes the sepiapterin reductase enzyme, leading to a
molecular diagnosis and successful treatment.

Sodium Channel Mini Model
|
|
|
Voltage-gated sodium channels play a critical role in generating the action potential in signaling neurons. As they open – in response to an approaching action potential – sodium ions enter the cell, leading to depolarization and a continuation of the action potential.
